This one is worth travelling... it is in quaint downtown Cotati, near Sonoma State University. The owner and his wife are very friendly. The owner used to co-own a restaurant in North Beach with his brother, and it shows. The food is excellent and one-of-a-kind for this rural area. Check it out if you're north of San Francsico and crave Italian. They have a lot of space and a great wine list.
Pros: quality of food, management, wine selection
Cons: location, pricey for the area, not always busy
